Offensive:

defensive:

[Nicky91]

ooh, dangerous corner by Norway but just didn't hit the ball that well

[MTVN]

There's definitely a defensive howler in this game

[Nicky91]

how can you miss from that close to the goal, jeez


way too wild over the goal

[Nicky91]

yes New Zealand's defences aren't that great


Norway's though, was a fine piece of defending in the early minutes of the game, solid work helping their goalie out of trouble

[Nicky91]

that Steinmetz (NZL) is quite fast

shame she basically just ran into norway's defenders

[Nicky91]

New Zealand - Norway 1-0

now second half

[Nicky91]

that Rhea Percival (NZL) is quite good, plays for Tottenham Hotspur, mainly used as a sub almost every game

[Nicky91]

So there's some trans-man playing for Canada who is also non binary hence they can play for a women's team. Ok then

Just be honest and say what it really is.....

Spoiler:

Quinn was a women, but now a man, but a former woman would never get into a men's football team, so in order for her to be able to play, just say you're non binary too, without having to admit women can't compete against men

Glad i'm not watching it, it's too confusing for me

But won’t she have had some treatment / hormones to make her / him / them stronger ??

That doesn’t seem fair at all ..

I maybe totally wrong about this so apologies in advance

[Nicky91]

only watched recap of USA - NL this morning


am happy with our 1-1 draw, good position now to make knockout stages, and if Portugal wins today vs Vietnam they can fully try and knock USA out next match

and Our Dutch Lionesses have to go against Vietnam in hopes to secure their place in knockout stage

[Nicky91]

Vietnam are so weak


Portugal already 1-0

[Zizu]

How long have these weak countries been playing football ?

Haiti and Vietnam !!!!

Vietnam women's football since 1990

however this is their first world cup appearance

yet to be trying to make their debut for the olympic games either



Haiti same, also their first world cup appearance

also yet to make their debut at the olympics



they are around since 1991 where they hosted Concacaf Women's Championship, reaching 4th place result too



they are the weakest countries this tournament ok, but tbf they already love that they made it to the main tournament for the first time
